Press Enter when you are finished; you are required to type the password again for
verification.
If you make a mistake, press the Esc key and start again.
After you have entered and verified the password, the power-on password icon
flashes and changes to the locked position to indicate that the power-on password is
set.
If you previously had set a power-on password and want to remove it, select the
Remove icon.
Note: If you
forget
the power-on password, you have to remove the battery for at
least 30 seconds to disable this password. See Appendix B, “Replacing the
Battery” on page B-1 for details.
Attention: After you remove the battery, you must reconfigure your system (bootlist,
IP parameters, console information, support processor, etc).
A password can be set only after the system is turned off and on again.
